Subject: Nostalgy Tournament. What about this rule?

Hi all, Peter, Karsten, Thorsten, etc...
Looking at the programs and dedicated units each of us want to use, I
wonder if we must specify even more the quality of competitors.  Maybe
is not enough to put a date limit in 1989. It seems that at that date
there were some programs far better than any dedicated unit we can put.
I mean Psion, Rexchess, etc. No thrill if those monster participate.
What about to limit the tournament to dedicated units, that is to say to
real old machines? Or if programs are alouded, they should be really
old, like commodore, atari, etc stuff or the very first PC programs,
like sargon II or III.
Else: any of you have Sargon III? I lost it years ago and I would love
to get one. I think it was the very first really strong PC program. If
somebody can send me the program thorough email, I can reciprocate with
one of my oldies or with my warmest thanks...
Fernando
